    I've seen all three on my last two trips to the Wal-mart in Grand Blanc. If any of you guys want, I can pick some up for a few of you.

    Gi Joe Is There

    Hey there. Anyone need the 25th Anniversary GI JOE wave 3 2-packs? I have an extra set of Ace & Wildweasel, Snake Eyes vs Storm Shadow (battle damage), and Crimson Guard (Fred) vs Cobra Trooper (Scarface). I'm selling them for cost. PM me and let me know!

    Has anyone seen the Green Ranger and Lord Zedd Power Ranger Legends figures? I've been checking the TRU on 14 and John R but haven't seen them.

    Over the weekend I picked up Target exclusives, Crosshairs, Armorhide, Warpath, Air Raid, & Storm Surge at the Target on Van Dyke & 15 mile. They still have lots left.

    Crosshairs looks more like A G1 Outback than the Botcon Fallback does IMO.

    There are a lot of folks that are into the new Joes here. If you guys want to do a "trading" or if people want to pick up new joes for people, we should do it. It is impossible to find joes and I know scalpers are getting to them first. I mean we can all pick up new joes, (or buy doubles) see who needs what and maybe trade for other joes or just get their money back. Folks that are in the same area can meet locally. I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say.
    Just buy what you can and post it on here. If there are no takers, you can always take it back to the store.
    We should also list who we need so that it would be easier to determine who needs what. What do you guys think??? This would work with Tformers as well.

    I'm certainly in to it. Joes are cheap enough where I don't mind getting doubles when I see them. Right now I have some of the extra 2 packs if anyone's interested. I have Crimson Guard vs Trooper, Ace vs Wild Weasel, and Snake eyes vs Storm Shadow (battle damage). LMK.

    I'm currently looking for Rock and Roll and Lt Torpedo. Thanks!

    Wal-Mart in Canton had one of each of the Tomax/Xamot two pack, a Dreadnok two pack and a CG/Scarface two pack as of midnight last night.

    For you Power Ranger fans, they also had a Lord Zedd Super Legends figure, but no Green Ranger. I must have that Green Ranger.

    I'm on the lookout for "Stealth Operation" Iron Man, the Walmart exclusive version of War Machine. Tried a bunch of Walmarts with no luck. 14 and Van Dyke and 20 and Gratiot today, and several others yesterday.

    Got the "Stealth Operations" Iron Man figure today (War Machine), at the Wal-mart at 12 and Gratiot, on their cardboard Iron man display.

    Ugh! You're already finding Iron Man stuff?!?! WTF

    Either Mid-Michigan is being deprived of Stark Goodness, or someone is seriously beating me to the punch everytime I go out on the hunt. WAH.

    Ouch. Though in all fairness, I've only found War Machine at one Wal-mart, that I had to call around to find. I picked up the mkIII and Silver Centurian at a Target last Saturday, so I don't know how easy they are to find now; I haven't been out since.

    Not sure if there is anyone else in the Grand Rapids area. For those who may be reading the thread, I found the Wal-Mart exclusives at the store in Grandville about 2 weeks ago (bought the only Big Daddy at the time, but plenty of the others) and there is a Premium Blackout at the Wal-Mart on 28th St in Cascade (I bought Ironhide).

    Well after wasting gas to drive 70+ miles to every Wal-Mart in my area I can say that I'm highly disappointed. I saw plenty of Evacs and Jungle Bonecrushers but NONE of the exclusives (Especially Big Daddy). Here's a list of every store I checked so that any of you searching for them don't have to waste your gas and time like I did today.

    Wal-Mart Store #4383
    5851 Mercury Drive
    Dearborn, MI 48126

    Wal-Mart
    2001 West Maple Road
    Troy, MI 48084

    Wal-Mart Store #2912
    7555 Telegraph Road
    Taylor, MI 48180

    Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #2559
    33201 Van Dyke Ave.
    Sterling Heights, MI 48312

    Wal-Mart Store #2558
    44575 Mound Road
    Sterling Heights, MI 48314

    Wal-Mart Store #2959
    28804 Gratiot Avenue
    Roseville, MI 48066

    Wal-Mart Supercenter Store #2631
    29555 Plymouth Rd
    Livonia, MI 48150

    To the guys looking for Iron Man and GI Joe stuff I'm sorry but I couldn't remember which figures were wanted so I didn't know what to look for. In the future (Another week or so probably) I'll try to remember to check this thread before I leave and let you know if and where I saw any of them.
